How to drive safely in rainy days?

Driving school is usually sunny, so although I have learned most of the driving skills, I will still be blindfolded if I encounter extreme weather such as rainstorm in actual driving. So how can novice drivers drive safely when encountering heavy rain?

Concentrate on observing the road conditions

When driving in rainy days, you should pay more attention to driving and observe the road conditions carefully, because sometimes some sections will be in a state of maintenance. When it doesn't rain, you can read the warning signs clearly, but when it rains, your vision will be affected. If you are slightly separated, you will not notice the warning signs, and it is easy to fall into a pit or hit a building. When turning roads and viaducts, we must pay attention to controlling the distance between the front and rear cars to avoid rear-end accidents caused by car skidding.

Correct use of lighting

If it rains heavily and the sky is dark, then the owner can turn on the front and rear fog lights. If the rain is not heavy and the light is still on, turn on the low beam and the width indicator. If it rains heavily, and it's dark, and you can't see the road clearly at all, then the owner had better find a place to shelter from the rain and it is not recommended to continue driving. Remember to turn on the double flash when parking for shelter.

Because the road surface is slippery in rainy days, the friction between the vehicle tires and the ground is reduced, the braking distance will be lengthened, and it is easy to slip out of control, so it is necessary to keep a safe distance and not to overtake or merge easily.
